Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell has finished runner-up in the last two Playoff races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway – a scant .082-second shy of winner Kyle Larson in 2023 and finishing .662-second behind Logano last year after winning pole position and leading a dominating 155 of the race’s 267 laps.
“Certainly, this is the one that we’ve had circled,” Bell acknowledged Saturday. “We know this is a great opportunity for us to have a good day and score points. Our intermediate package has been very good from Kansas couple weeks ago even Bristol, so seems like everything is going right for us at Joe Gibbs Racing, our teammates are going really good. We know this is a big opportunity and hopefully we can to capitalize on it.”
Conceded done nothing different in preparation for this race weekend than others, just acknowledges “the stakes are much higher.”
“I definitely feel confidence and positivity every time you think of Vegas. Even though I haven’t won here. I’ve had a lot of races get away between the two Cup races the last two years and the Xfinity and truck years I have zero wins at Las Vegas, but it’s always been a strong track for me and we’ve performed really well I’d say I am excited to come here every time. One of these days we’re going to get rewarded. I don’t think the track owes us one but certainly driving for Joe Gibbs Racing I know we have great cars every time we come here.”
